摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to one or more configured computing systems identifying when decoupled content includes companion content that can be synchronously presented. Once a content match is identified, a device to receive synchronization information can also be identified. The synchronization information can enable one or more devices to synchronously present companion content.

Architectures and techniques are described to provide a personal webservice for item acquisitions. In particular implementations, the personal webservice of the individual indicates items that have been acquired by the individual and/or items that the individual has indicated an interest in acquiring. Information specifying items acquired by the individual may be obtained from computing devices of the individual, third-party data sources (e.g. financial entities, socials networking sites), or both. Additionally, a number of webservice applications and/or webservice agents may provide supplemental information about items included in the personal webservice of the individual, provide notifications derived from the supplemental information about the items, or both. The supplemental information may be obtained from manufacturers of the items, online content related to the items (e.g. news articles, blog posts, reviews), information from merchants offering the items for acquisition, and the like.

A system for caching data in a distributed data processing system allows for the caching of user-modifiable data (as well as other types of data) across one or multiple entities in a manner that prevents stale data from being improperly used.

In a system in which documents are generated dynamically in response to user requests, historical data is collected regarding data retrieval subtasks, such as service requests, that are performed to generate such documents. This data is used to predict the specific subtasks that will be performed to respond to specific document requests, such that these subtasks may be initiated preemptively at or near the outset of the associated document generation task. A subtask that would ordinarily be postponed pending the outcome of a prior subtask can thereby be performed in parallel with the prior subtask, reducing document generation times. In one embodiment, the historical data is included within, or is used to generate, a mapping table that maps document generation tasks (which may correspond to specific URLs) to the data retrieval subtasks that are frequently performed within such tasks.

Text content embedded with multimedia content is provided from a content provider to a client device. The multimedia content may be provided to the client device separate from the text content. In particular, multimedia content metadata indicating a storage location of the multimedia content may be provided to the client device after the text content. The client device may request the multimedia content from the content provider based on the multimedia content metadata. The content provider may send the requested multimedia content to the client device after receiving an authenticated version of the multimedia content metadata.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing community-specific content to customers of a merchant's web site. In one embodiment, customers who are electronically referred to the merchant's web site from an affiliate web site, or from one of a group of related affiliate web sites, are automatically assigned to the same community. For example, all customers who enter the merchant's web site from links on golf-related affiliate web sites may be assigned to the community “golf.” Customers may also join or be assigned to communities using other methods. Purchase histories and/or other activity data of the merchant's customers is analyzed periodically to identify specific products or other items that are currently “popular” within the community (e.g., best selling), based upon predefined criteria. This information is provided to members of the community, and possibly to other customers, on the merchant's web site and/or on the web sites of the corresponding affiliates.

In a system in which documents are generated dynamically in response to user requests, historical data is collected regarding data retrieval subtasks, such as service requests, that are performed to generate such documents. This data is used to predict the specific subtasks that will be performed to respond to specific document requests, such that these subtasks may be initiated preemptively at or near the outset of the associated page generation task. A subtask that would ordinarily be postponed pending the outcome of a prior subtask can therefore be performed in parallel with the prior subtask, reducing document generation times. In one embodiment, the historical data is included within, or is used to generate, a mapping table that maps document generation tasks (which may correspond to specific URLs) to the data retrieval subtasks that are frequently performed within such tasks.
摘要:
An electronic book distribution system encrypts distributed electronic books (“eBooks”) with a content key. The content key is in turn encrypted with a voucher key. The voucher key for a particular eBook is generated based on a combination of (a) an ID or serial number of an eBook reader device to which the eBook is being distributed, (b) a user account secret associated with a user of the eBook reader device, and (c) metadata associated with the eBook itself.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide a requesting device with access to a service. In one implementation, a server stores a token decryption key for validating an encrypted token. The server receives the encrypted token and a digital signature generated using a signature creation key from a client device, and decrypts the token with the token decryption key. The server extracts a signature validation key from the token, and validates the digital signature using the signature validation data. The system provides the client device with access to the service, based on whether the digital signature is validated.
摘要:
Objects in a content delivery network are modified at delivery to users. Individual content servers include copies of the content objects and receive requests from users for a copy of the object. The request includes a program from the content provider on how the content object is to be modified at delivery to the user. The program is executed on delivery of the object to provide the user with a modified content object. Modification can occur as the content is delivered from the content server to the user.
